1948 Map of Table Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Backbone Mountain anchors this 1948 survey of the rugged highlands where the Youghiogheny River and the North Branch of the Potomac River divide the drainage along the Maryland-West Virginia state line. The landscape is defined by high-elevation farming and early 20th-century social hubs, notably featuring two community centers at Sunnyside Grange Hall and Shady Dell Grange Hall. Small settlements like Redhouse and Sunnyside are supported by a network of rural institutions, including the Swan Meadow Sch and several country churches like Gnegy Ch and Fairview Ch. To the north, Charcoal Hill and Ambrose Run mark the headwaters that feed into the larger river systems, while landmarks like the Fire Tower on the ridge top suggest a landscape managed for both timber and conservation.
